In accordance with Russian law, a driver's license must be changed after 10 years from the date of its previous receipt. This can be done in a short time using the online service "Gosuslugi" and in the future can be obtained from the city traffic police department.
Replacement of a driver's license through "State Services"
Examine the data on the available form or driver's license card. Approximately a month before the expiration date of the document, you can start the procedure for replacing it. Obtaining a new license is impossible without passing the driver's medical commission. You can pass it in one of the city budgetary medical institutions or contact a private company licensed for the relevant services.
The medical commission includes examination by doctors such as therapist, ophthalmologist, narcologist, and psychiatrist. After a positive decision on the suitability of a citizen to drive a car, the therapist will write out a special medical certificate, which must contain the name of the institution, the category of suitability, the date of issue and the unique document number.
Currently, the Russian government strongly recommends that every citizen register on the portal https://www.gosuslugi.ru/. The procedure takes a few minutes and in the future allows you to receive a variety of government services electronically and without the need to defend long queues in institutions. Here you can also change your license after 10 years.
As soon as all the necessary registration steps are completed, go to the "Services" tab in your personal account. In the "Transport and driving" section, select the item "Driver's license", and then the service to replace the document "when it expires." Click "Get a Service". Fill in your personal and passport details, address and information about the previously issued ID. You will also need to fill out the above information from the medical certificate. Select the desired traffic police department and indicate the appropriate date and time of the visit.
